hedmo,
Could this 2020 SDDM bug report ('Plasma 5.20 has Black desktop screen when using wayland in conjunction with SDDM #1335') be applicable in your case?:
https://github.com/sddm/sddm/issues/1335#issuecomment-743933731
The approach by SDDM user torokati44 was to edit /usr/share/wayland-sessions/plasmawayland.desktop and replaced the line:
| Code: | | Exec=/usr/lib64/libexec/plasma-dbus-run-session-if-needed /usr/bin/startplasma-wayland |
by:
| Code: | | Exec=/usr/bin/dbus-run-session /usr/bin/startplasma-wayland |
See if that works for you as well.

U should either suspend inittab's: | Code: | | c1:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty --noclear 38400 tty1 linux |
or redirect sddm vt from VT1 to somewhere else as described in tips link.
| Code: | cat /etc/sddm.conf.d/sddm.conf
[General]
DisplayServer=wayland
#mandatory with kwin_wayland
GreeterEnvironment=QT_WAYLAND_SHELL_INTEGRATION=layer-shell
[Wayland]
CompositorCommand=kwin_wayland --no-lockscreen --locale1 |
Omitting --locale1 on the final line will set your keyboard to US, no matter what you do with the SDDM interface.
--locale1 sets here to fr which is the only keyboard locale setting here.
/etc/sddm.conf/01gentoo.conf may be removable.

I had the exact same thing on two machines and found that rc-config had "display-manager" enabled for "boot" and default"
I left only the "default" one installed and this appears to cure this bug.
| Code: | | rc-config delete display-manager boot |
was all I needed.  |

sorry rc-config did not help.
I am at a loss. 
| Code: | * NOTE: If SDDM startup appears to hang then entropy pool is too low.
* This can be fixed by configuring one of the following:
* - Enable CONFIG_RANDOM_TRUST_CPU in linux kernel
* - # emerge sys-apps/haveged && rc-update add haveged boot
* - # emerge sys-apps/rng-tools && rc-update add rngd boot
|
I guess you have seen the above? |
